                        It was a tv show.

                        Last Exile

                        I recommend it.  It's available on Hulu.

                        Very cool! You can definitely is starting to look like a vanship. Do you plan to build Claus' courier, Tatiana's fighter, or come up with one of your own? Props for taking this on! Can't wait to see it all come together.

                        The fuselage top view with the upper gaps filled in with C/D cases -note when using C/D cases it is advisable to give them a sanding they have some kinda coating on them that dose not like paint too well ! The wedge and other hunk of plastic is sections that got cut outta the hood and trunk to get the right fuselage shape !
